Greek School - Independence Day Luncheon

Remembering their struggle and a tough fight for independence, March 25th is celebrated with great pride and honor as a national holiday in the country. As a mark of celebration, people across the nation conduct parades, processions, and functions. People march with a Greek flag, dressed in traditional Greek costumes. The day is also celebrated as Annunciation Day, according to the Greek Orthodox calendar. The day brought the news of Mother Mary carrying a divine child. The churches are filled with worshippers who indulge in joy and celebrations.
The Greek Independence Day Celebration will be held in the Hellenic Center after Divine Liturgy on Sunday March 29. The program will also include a play, poems, dances and songs prepared by the Greek School students. A guest speaker will speak during the homily at Divine Liturgy with the program to follow in the Hellenic Hall.
